What a delightful post Suzy, your roses are beautiful and I love those curly coated sheep, do you know what breed they are??It always seems sad to get to the end of Summer but it is a wonderful time of year when nature gets ready to sleep for a while.Enjoy your lovely garden,Angela.x

Oh I love your pictures Suzi! We've no goats like this in France, with curled hair, they're wonderful! And I love to see Wallabies too, here, they just live in Zoo!Yes, it's fall for you, and here, we hope for Spring! It's allways so strange for me! I can't imagine Christmas in summer!!! LOLMany hugs and kisses

It looks just lovely. If it's any consolation, we over here on the other side of the world are anxiously awaiting those beautiful blooms. It's so very kind of you to share them with us for just a season so we too can enjoy them:)Have a fantastic day,JoeyLea

Beautiful garden shots, and those roses are magnificent. As the snow slowly disappears (oh, we hope!) it's lovely to see your flora and fauna. It brings hope that soon our winter will turn to warmer weather, spring will arrive, and our garden may again bloom.

Such beautiful collages of your images Suzy! You do set them out so well, and they help so well to show us what a wonderful life and nature you are so lucky to have around you.Your sweet heat creations a gorgeous! ♥

Such a lovely post Suzy with all those wonderful roses. I have lots of rose bushes planted that are not mature yet. I am hoping they start really blooming well this summer. Yours are so lovely and I bet they smell heavenly as well. Such pretty hearts to remember with.

Hello my dear Suzy, The roses are beautiful and I can imagine how wonderful the scents must be.I'd like to hug your cute goats. They look so adorable with their curly hair and their sweet faces. The wallabies are lovely too. You are surrounded by beauty and you create beauty, my friend.Big hugs and love,JuliaPS: I've just sent you an e-mail

End of summer always makes me feel a little wistful. I love fall and at least the first half of winter, but still -- hearing the dried leaves rustling makes me a little sad about leaving warm summer days behind. Loved seeing those charming goats!

How strange, dearest Suzi, the web makes us feel so close and then.... Then there are your beautiful photos telling of another world which is so far from mine... I love your garden, the roses.... You really have an eye for the right focus! Here, on the other half of the globe, we are looking forward to the warmth of spring again. Hopefully you have plenty of time for crafting during your winter season so that we'll find a lot to admire on your blog! Hugs, Manu

My dear sweet heart friend, such a beautiful post!- I`m so happy to see that some roses were still blooming again, after the hot fires some time ago, -and your beautiful goats are so sweet looking, I still have some of that gorgeous wool you gifted me for dolls hair!It must be fantastic to watch the Wallabies running past your fence, he is wonderful Suzy.And so is all the other wild-life in your surroundings- so wilder and different from what I will ever experience here in Denmark.You live in awsome spot, dear friend.Thankyou for your beautiful photoes, and wishes for a wonderful day.Love and hugs,dORTHE

Wow Suzi, your photos are gorgeous! I adore the roses, mine never turn out so beautiful, they get a lot of disease for some reason. Your photos make me swoon! And the animals, they are so precious!Thank you for always sharing your beauty!

You live in Paradise Suzi! I love the lavender shaded roses and the amazing curly haired sheep. I'm so glad the hot fire season has passed once again. Sweet blessings to you as your season changes invite you into your next experience of Paradise!

oh what gorgeous photos!! I can just smeel the sweet fragrance of those roses..we're just going into Spring (officially on Wed.) and I can't wait! Are the goats yours?? I wish I lived in a place where we could have farm animals.

Hello dear Suzy, thank you for sharing this lovely post with us. I always love seeing a little bit of the area where blogfriends live. Your tea roses are gorgeous and big and yummie, love them! And the goats, o my they are so cute. Wish I had such beautiful curls :)Hugs and happy Tuesday,Wendy

dearest suzy~ too long it's been since last we shared, but i've felt your warm, loving spirit through these long, winter days in montana. and now i see again in your autumn splendor, you are surrounded with so much beauty and life, you are thriving, and that make me so happy. much love & blessings be with you my lovely friend! xo abigail

The last rose of Summer, yours are truly wonderful and seem to have revived themselves form the horrendous fires for this wonderful Autumn flush, as happens with the lovely old heritage roses.

The angora goats look delightful and so full of personality.I know you could tell me about each one and their likes and dislikes and different habits...are they good company?

This is the perfect time of year for me, Things are slowing down and preparing for the long rest over the Winter months. The roses/perennials/veges and fruit trees have done there wonderful work providing us with precious blooms and delicious food over the Spring/Summer months - they now deserve a rest!

I like the feeling of hunkering down by the fireside, with a pot of soup on the stove, surrounded by books/magazines/plant catalogues, pieces of fabric, lace and bits of this and that in preparation for a little creating - it's my time at last!!

Summer is always busy for us, lots of boating and popping here and there for weekends with little time in between to draw breath.I welcome the cooler days of Autumn there's not the pull to keep on the move - it's my time to sit still, be quiet and do my thing!!

Your heARTs are calling to me that it's time to create - thank you dear Suzy for your wonderful inspiration as always.

What a complete joy to see your comment on my blog tonight. I have not blogged in ages, and wondered if anyone would even take notice!! what wonderful treasures you have received recently, as scrolled down your blog!

you continue to inspire and delight so many of us! I cherish your friendship.

Gorgeous pictures and HEARTS at the end...I know I will be making a Heart in this style as well as a book! Are the goats yours? Do you ever use their....what do you call a goats ....hair? not fur...? um....stuff ...LOL, in any of your projects? that would make a great texture in many kinds of arrangements....so fun to think about!Love it all!Betsy

Creating for me is essential! It feeds my heart and soul. It is a large part of who I am.
I have a passion for vintage fabrics, silks, velvets, laces and embellishments inc. jewellery which I incorporate into my collages for journals etc.
My love also of antiques, time worn treasures - all things tarnished, tattered and pre-loved goes hand in hand with my creativity but above all I try to live a simple self-sufficient rural life style with my husband inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds us here.
